About this property

Claralea Lodge | Secluded, Lakefront, Private Dock

Surround yourself with nature in this majestic log home. Four suites make it an excellent choice for couples as well as family gatherings.

On the entry level, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings and large windows adorn the great room, and the stone fireplace and stylish furnishings accent the warmth of these rooms. An open layout makes it easy to enjoy the company of family and friends when you are making a home cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen. The island seats three adding to the seating for twelve in the dining area. The long wooden table is sure to be the site of lots of good conversations by the fire. With the deck just off of the great room, your living space is instantly expanded. Grill out on summer evenings or sip your coffee on crisp fall mornings. No matter what the time of year, the sounds of Mother Nature will be all around you.

The main level primary suite is truly inviting with well-chosen decor that evokes a mountain feel. Catch up on your rest in the king bed or watch a little TV before getting some shut eye. This is a great spot to refresh before another day of fun at Deep Creek Lake.

Upstairs, you will find two more suites. Each offers a queen bed, TV, and DVD player. Whether you need a cat nap or just a little quiet time, you will appreciate the privacy on this level.

The lower level family room was designed with quality time in mind. Enjoy the ambiance of the cozy gas fireplace as you watch your favorite movie, play cards at the game table, or challenge a friend to air hockey. The kids in your crew will love the bedroom with two bunkbeds. Rounding out the sleeping quarters is another bedroom with a queen that also has access to the hall bath.

When the stars come out, soak in the bubbling hot tub while enjoying the beautiful views of the lake and surrounding woodland. The private dock sits in a quiet cove making swimming pleasurable and fishing fantastic. Gather the kids and break out the s'mores for story time around the outdoor fire pit.

Tucked beneath large pines and conveniently located only a couple miles from the heart of Deep Creek Lake, you can enjoy the best of the area without spending a lot of time behind the wheel. Activities such as white water rafting, boat rentals, restaurants, Wisp Ski Resort and golf are just a short drive away.

Make Claralea Lodge your choice for Deep Creek lodging, and look forward to a fun and relaxing experience with your favorite people.

For your convenience, this home offers free wifi.

Claralea Lodge outing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was perfect for our family get together....11 people. With bedrooms on three levels, our families could be together in the common areas, and separated for sleeping....important with young children. Although it rained the entire weekend we were at Claralea, the kids found plenty to do...from exploring the wooded yard to enjoying the fire pit...bring rain boots and umbrellas. And when they got restless swimming, bowling, and ice cream filled the bill.

Stunning!

I've stayed at many different large home rentals, both beach houses and mountain cabins. This house is absolutely pristine, inside and out! The attention to detail and design of the house is not of the caliber I've found in rental homes- regardless of price point. Everyone in our group had a great time, and loved the house and the well designed outside features. I would very highly recommend this cabin.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The outside picture of Claralea Lodge doesn't do it justice. The picture looks barren with gravel and just a few chairs. It was just the opposite. The stepping stones are part of a welcoming path surrounded by trees and a soothing creek nearby. On the upper deck and in the back of the lounge chairs are plenty of comfortable seating areas for a crowd. Then there's the picnic table with a fire pit a short distance between the home and the lake. Some maintenance issues were addressed quickly. Careful of the gas grill. It hadn't been cleaned of grease and caught fire. Maneuvering a larger boat in the cove was tricky. It is shallow with a narrow channel between the rocks. However, the house and cove are surrounded by beautiful wooded scenery everywhere you look. Kitchen was well stocked. All was basically clean. There was no king bed anywhere, but having three queen suites was appealing to all. The lower level with it's activity area, washer/dryer, TV, bath, and two bedrooms was perfect for a daughter's family of five including three small children. We enjoyed our annual activities– hiking at Muddy Creek and Swallow Falls, visiting Lakeside Creamery and Discovery Center by boat, pizza at Uno's and playing on the boat, elephant and giant chairs, lounging on the water in our inflatables, and catching up with family. Highly recommend if you don't mind the shallow water front.

No water

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was nice and very clean and beutiful setting. However, it was not exactly waterfront during the time we stayed. The water was low I gues and so the waterfront had turned into mud and there was no dock as the majority of home had pulled their docks in. I wish I had known we would not have useable lakefront in order to fish and to enjoy the view during the time we stayed

Will Definitely Be Staying Here Again

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was absolutely beautiful - both inside and out! The location was great and you get a wonderful water view. I think the water may have been a little low though which made one view from the pier not so appealing. Other than that, it was gorgeous. The campfire pit was really nice - there's a picnic table near it, but it would have been nice to have some chairs to sit around it. Hot Tub was great. Bedrooms/Bathrooms were really nice. The beds were extremely comfortable. Originally, 8 ppl were supposed to stay in the house, but only 6 ppl did, so there was plenty of room (almost too much) for everyone. I contacted Taylor-Made to see if I needed to bring toiletries, soap, etc. for kitchen and baths, and I was told that I had to. However, all of this was well stocked -even laundry detergent. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

We had a fabulous time and hope to be back again next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a fabulous place to stay! Our four generation family got together for the first time and we could not have asked for a more beautiful place. The cove was perfect for young children since the water is shallow. Great dock for hooking up our boat and just enjoying the wonderful views. Very quiet and relaxing place. The house has everything you would ever need and more. The main level bedroom is huge and the bathroom is incredible. Every room was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely book this house again. Thanks to Taylor-Made vacations for the welcome bag...love it!!

Homes are always clean and any issue is addressed immediately! This home is outstanding and on a nice quiet cove as advertised. Would love a pool table but really can't complain about anything, very roomy, well equipped home. Only a few steps to the lake, great parking, and a quiet street. We will absolutely be back.
